A Trail of Tragedy: Stacey Castor and The Deaths Around Her

When Stacey Castor called the police to her New York home in August 2005, she told them she was worried about her husband, David. He had locked himself inside their bedroom after an argument and hadn't shown up for work. When officers forced their way inside, they found David dead beside a glass containing a bright green liquid and an open container of antifreeze.

At first, everything pointed toward suicide, but one detective wasn't convinced.

As investigators began looking more closely at David's death, they discovered that Stacey had already lost one husband under unusual circumstances. Michael Wallace had died suddenly five years earlier at just 38 years old, after suffering from a mysterious illness that had never been fully explained. So investigators decided to take another look.

What followed was an extraordinary investigation involving an exhumation, toxicology, a discarded turkey baster, a suspicious will, computer forensics and a typed letter that threatened to change everything police thought they knew about this family completely.

And eventually, investigators began to wonder whether Stacey Castor was an extraordinarily unlucky woman who had experienced more tragedy than most...or whether tragedy wasn't following Stacey at all. It was being created around her.
